Heisman Trophy winner to back up Kitna

CINCINNATI -- Carson Palmer has moved up in the Cincinnati Bengals' order of clipboard holders.

The Heisman Trophy winner is now the No. 2 quarterback, only an
injury away from getting to play. But he'll remain a passing
arm's-length away as long as Jon Kitna keeps doing what he has for
the past three games.

Kitna threw three touchdown passes Sunday in a 34-26 victory
over Baltimore that solidified his hold on the job that will
eventually be Palmer's inheritance.
